Elysian Blues II

After a sold-out debut and Fringe Award nomination in 2024, guzheng artist QiQi returns with an exciting new chapter of this boundary-breaking fusion performance. Reuniting with jazz pianist/composer Darby Lee and joined by powerhouse percussionist Alexander Meagher, the trio injects rhythm and spark into every note.

This isn’t your average cross-cultural concert – it’s an intimate night of bold improvisations, vivid musical storytelling, and dynamic grooves where Chinese guzheng, jazz piano, and live percussion collide in the best way.

Expect fresh originals, reworked favorites, and spontaneous banter that brings the music to life. The vibe is casual, the playing is electric, and the audience is right at the heart of it all.

Whether you're into jazz, ready to groove, or just up for something completely different, Elysian Blues II is the night out you didn’t know you needed.
